Basically, that's because we have been swamped launching a new car magazine for Jordan called Torque. Issue 1 is out now... and looking very handsome, even if we do say so ourselves.
Anyway, now that we're pretty established – number one selling English language mag in Jordan – it's easy to a) take the piss out of ourselves and b) start having a dig at those people who thought that a men's lifestyle magazine in the Middle East could never work.
So, here are some our favourite bits of criticism:
1. "You're too clever for your own good...."
Sorry, we don't do dumbing down.
2. "There's too much in it... that puts me off"
We just hate to give value for money.
3. "It's pornography"
Erm... you've never seen Amateur Sluts Zoo Special, have you?
4. "There's too much politics... Arab men don't like politics"
Not the ones in the local nail bar, no.....
5. "All you have is Laith Majali's photo-essays"
Actually, in 17 issues, we've had three. Which leaves 2,016 other pages which weren't. Give or take...
6. "Your gadgets are way too expensive... they're all over $100"
Yeah, but a corkscrew isn't a gadget. And nor is a key ring.
7. "Why don't you write stuff for new fathers... I'd read that"
If our editorial policy was directed at one person, we'd be called Family Flavours, okay?
